10,000 Reasons Not To Leave Your Dog In A Car
I’ve posted numerous articles on why not to leave your dog unattended in a car, but it still happens all the time.
Debby Brown will think twice, possibly 10,000 times, before she ever leaves her chorkie again.
CONCORD, Calif. – On Monday morning, Debby Brown was ecstatic, having been reunited with her tiny dog Lexi 2 1/2 days after the pet was taken from her Cadillac Escalade parked behind a Concord, Calif., restaurant.
But it was a tough weekend for the Concord woman, who offered – and paid – a $10,000 reward to get back Lexi.
“We got so many calls, about 40, and some of them wanted to meet us,” said Brown, who had posted fliers all over the East Bay region. “It was scary sitting in those parking lots, waiting, afraid of getting robbed. … It’s been a very stressful few days.”
Her ordeal began Friday night, when Brown and her boyfriend left the Elephant Bar on Willow Pass Road and found a window of their vehicle had been smashed. Lexi, a 2-year-old, 3-pound Chihuahua-Yorkshire terrier mix – a ‘chorkie’ – was gone.
